Old ****** (1985 Response) - Cordae.mp3

[00:18.590]Damn, Mizzy Mauri got beats
[00:19.850]Uh, old ****** and new ******, now what's the difference?
[00:23.290]All in the same boat in a stuck position
[00:25.790]So when an old ***** talkin' I don't ******' listen
[00:27.900]They don't know every day we make tough decisions
[00:31.000]It seems though we is at a generational gap
[00:33.950]Which bring conversation and a statement in fact
[00:35.590]We can agree none of us is 'posed to make it in rap
[00:38.250]I understand both sides, let me break it in half
[00:40.790]Let's take it back when hip hop originated
[00:43.590]And old ****** said it was wack, they couldn't take it
[00:46.590]And called it a little trend, said it wouldn't last
[00:48.890]Now it's the number one genre as the time passed
[00:52.190]Young ****** won't listen and we know it
[00:53.890]But old ****** always talk and never show it
[00:56.690]You gotta practice what you preach and the classes that you teach
[00:59.590]Will eventually listen, my mind mentally prison, uh
[01:02.090]Lately all my idols they been failin' me
[01:04.290]Catchin' sexual assaults and some felonies
[01:07.090]Then you want me to listen what you tellin' me
[01:09.590]And wanna hate when we sing our little melodies
[01:12.090]And other idols they be broke, get your funds in order
[01:15.190]And Kanye West is a Trump supporter
[01:17.590]Then we got R. Kelly and Bill Cosby
[01:20.390]Who still probably got lil girls in the Hills lobby
[01:23.090]And these supposed to be our heros? negro please
[01:25.890]Old ****** unreliable like D-Rose knees
[01:28.350]Only man I can trust is G-O-D
[01:31.290]Not to mention Mos Def and Talib Kweli
[01:33.100]Now I get it, y'all think new ****** really suck
[01:36.050]And white kids ******' love it, lil silly ducks
[01:38.000]But I know it's a lot of ******** goin' on, I understand
[01:41.500]But please don't complain without a plan
[01:43.590]Ironically I wrote this whole song off a xan, nah I'm playin'
[01:47.090]I'm just tryna be a ******' man
[01:49.590]We see you old ****** as a lot of clowns
[01:51.190]Not to mention our father figures was not around
[01:54.290]So we all on tours and we hoppin' towns
[01:56.590]We just need to sit down and find common ground
[01:59.050]And it's soon to come, soon to come
[02:02.050]Hip hop need balance like the moon and sun
[02:04.790]It feel good when I wear Christian Louboutins
[02:07.590]So I gotta drop music to accrue some funds
[02:09.590]And I get it, that's the mindset that's killin' the rhyme-fest
[02:12.690]But feedin' our families, lowering the crime yet
[02:15.590]You want us to be separate and make a contest
[02:18.590]Rappin' to stay up out the streets, shouldn't mind that
[02:20.590]Stayin' out of prison and we sayin' **** the system man
[02:23.190]Rappin' is an outlet to go and get our dividends
[02:26.290]Rather than out robbin' ******, sellin' Ritalin
[02:28.010]Old ****** bitter, y'all should love it when a ***** win
[02:31.000]'Cause we came from the same struggle like Diddy and Dame Russell
[02:33.200]Was teachin' and gained hustle, got rich, remained subtle
[02:35.860]See I listen, see I listen
[02:38.390]But Lil Dae-Dae water whippin' in the kitchen
[02:40.790]Ready to flip a pack and bring it back, no submission
[02:43.590]Gotta just go attack Lil Pump when you're dissin'
[02:46.590]I understand both sides of the Ziploc
[02:48.890]Y'all old ******' time is comin' *****, tick tock
[02:51.900]I'ma still wear all my Gucci flip-flops
[02:54.000]And the ******' diamond chain with the big rocks
[02:56.900]And I'll be the greatest ever *****, just watch
[02:59.590]Cardi B got rich from Love & Hip Hop, haha
